Since the magicians of Pharaoh dared, even in the presence of Moses, to produce the same signs he did by God's express order, why would they not in his absence have claimed, with the same credentials, the same authority? Thus, after the doctrine has been proved by the miracle, the miracle has to be proved by the doctrine, for fear of taking the Demon's work for God's work. What do you think of this vicious circle?
Rousseau - Emile
